Do you know what NET means? Some of you will know it stands for the Native English-speaking Teacher. That means that I am the English teacher who spoke English at home and school since I was a small child. So I am working at FHMSS with all the other English teachers to help you to learn English, which is a language used all over the world. If you work in a shop or restaurant in HK, it is good to know a little English for tourists. They are just as likely to be from Japan or Germany as England.
So now you know Eng it is important and you need to try your best. My job is to make it fun for you!

11 FebHappy New Year Everyone, both Western and Chinese!
Since my last posting, I have been getting used to life at FHMSS and getting to know all my students. I have a lot of names to learn and I am not good at remembering, but I am doing my best! I am very happy to discover that FHMSS students are for the most part really lovely to teach. I have been very impressed with the English-speaking ability of some students, who speak really very well. However, what is most important is students’ willingness to ‘have a go’ and try their best. Luckily for me, FHMSS students do just this.
At Christmas, I went back to London to enjoy the festivities with my husband and family. We had a very quiet time as my husband’s mother is 99 years old, but as most of you know as you have seen her picture, she is still very active. Over this last Lunar New Year holiday, I went briefly to London, but spent most of the time in Cyprus, where it was a bit warmer than London – but not by much! Cyprus was having a cold winter and the ski resort on Mount Olympus was very happy as there was snow on the mountains finally. It doesn’t always snow.

13 SepNative English Teacher (NET)
My name is Marnie Evans and I have come from London to join the school. I have been teaching for over 20 years in London, Hong Kong and Macao. I love working with teenagers and helping them to explore their potential. I hope my students can enjoy learning not only English with me but also about other cultures and traditions from the English-speaking world. I also learn a lot from my students . I love practical activities and going out and about in Hong Kong, especially the islands and country parks.
